This is a diverse land of magnificent natural wonders, rich cultural traditions and colorful history. It is a joy to visit at any time of the year. From the depths of Arizona’s Grand Canyon to the lofty mountains and mesas of Western Colorado; from the dramatic pinnacles of New Mexico to Utah’s soaring stone arches, a varied terrain will surprise you at every turn with its diversity. Traveling here is an adventure you will find nowhere else. The Grand Circle is covered with National Parks and Monuments, laced with National Scenic Byways and dotted with archaeological wonders. As you tour through this wonderland of scenic attractions, experience Native American culture, both ancient and modern, rejuvenate yourself in welcoming communities and get outdoors for some adventure and exercise. Please join us in discovering just a bit more of what makes the Southwestern USA so great! Whether visiting for the first time or returning, you will find that there is more to explore at every corner of the Grand Circle. Happy Travels, Ed Spear, President COURTHOUSE TOWERS, ARCHES NATIONAL PARK GRANDCIRCLE.ORG 5 CANYONS OF THE COLORADO RIVER LAKE POWELL he Colorado River has carved a score of canyons, but none so awe inspiring as Glen Canyon and, of course the most awesome T of all, the Grand Canyon. They are a study in contrasts: to early explorers of the Grand, its tumultuous waters “work on the nerves, there is no repose in it, nothing that is soft.” Glen Canyon, though, was “almost absolutely serene, an interlude for a pastoral flute.” That is still true today, especially with most of Glen Canyon sleeping below the surface of Lake Powell. However, the upper sandstone walls of Glen Canyon are as seductive as ever — and they are more approachable. Now we can boat, float, ski, fish, sail, or kayak amongst sheer cliff walls and billowing, towering domes. As for the Grand Canyon, most of us simply stare with incomprehension. It’s too vast, too old, too grand to grasp But for those of us who do hike or ride or raft into its depths, the Grand Canyon truly can transform our lives. GRAND CANYON NATIONAL PARK, SOUTH RIM 6 GRAND CIRCLE ASSOCIATION 2020 LAKE POWELL GRAND CANYON NP, SOUTH RIM GRAND CANYON NATIONAL HAVASU FALLS HORSESHOE BEND Park — SOUTH RIM Grand Canyon National Park is an awesome example of Mother Nature’s finest engineering. Ten miles wide, a mile deep. A silvery ribbon of water still relentlessly continues to slice through billion year old rock. From the best vantage points on the rim, you see less than a quarter of the Canyon, yet even this inspires us to silence. Hike down Bright Angel or Kaibab or Hermit Trail, and you’ll begin to understand the enormity of these vertical walls. At 7,000 feet, the South Rim glistens with snow clad buttes in winter, shimmers with heat mirages in summer. On the Canyon floor, temperatures can easily reach over 100 degrees in July and August. Hiking, riding mules to Phantom Ranch, and flight-seeing all offer unforgettable moments in the Canyon. Be sure to visit the Canyon View Information Plaza located at Mather Point to find out about shuttle schedules, interpretive RAFTING ON THE COLORADO RIVER programs, and hiking conditions. From the eastern entrance of the Park, a spectacular road winds along the rim, offering turnouts and scenic overlooks of the Canyon. The South Rim is open year-round. nps.gov/grca; for Park lodging and concessions, grandcanyonlodges.com, visitgrandcanyon.com GRANDCIRCLE.ORG 7 RED ROCKS, SEDONA NEARBY COMMUNITIES (South Rim) Tusayan is just a few miles south of the Canyon’s southern entrance, and has a wide variety of hotels and restaurants. The National Geographic IMAX theater offers stunning and fascinating perspectives of the Canyon on its giant screen. Grand Canyon flightseeing, by helicopter or fixed-wing aircraft, is available from Tusayan’s airport. At the Park’s east entrance, the town of Cameron has lodging, restaurant and a beautiful trading post. Williams has numerous hotels and restaurants, and is the origination point for the Grand Canyon Railway, a historic ride to the South Rim, complete with strolling musicians and a mock train robbery. GrandCanyonCVB.org, williamschamber.com Flagstaff has a great historic district, many accommodations and restaurants, and several additional attractions, including Lowell Observatory and the Museum of Northern Arizona. Vestiges of Historic Route 66 are found in both Flagstaff and Williams. To the south, eclectic and bustling Sedona is set amid tall red rock buttes. flagstaffarizona.org HISTORIC ROUTE 66 Stretching from New Mexico to Arizona, visitors find many reminders of the glory of the “Mother Road” across Northern Arizona. Winslow, Holbrook, Flagstaff, Williams, Peach Springs and Kingman all have vestiges of the motels, diners and gas stations that made Route 66 the epitome of highway travel. Even today, wanderers travel here from around the globe to experience the nostalgia of those days. WALNUT CANYON NATIONAL MONUMENT. South of Flagstaff, the monument offers a steep trail into the canyon to view the high limestone alcoves where the Sinagua built their homes from 1100 to 1250. nps.gov/waca RED ROCK SCENIC BYWAY Red Rock Scenic Byway winds through Sedona’s Red Rock Country, often called a “museum without walls.” Travelers are amazed by the high desert’s power, diversity, and sense of intimacy with nature.
